ArcGIS Desktop III: GIS Workflows and Analysis

Format: Instructor-LedDuration: 2 days (16 hours)Authored by EsriDescriptionAdvance your ArcGIS Desktop skills in this course that teaches how and when to apply ArcGIS tools tocreate an efficient workflow that supports GIS analysis. Working with data stored in a geodatabase, youwill organize and prepare data for analysis, create geoprocessing models, and work through achallenging analysis project. By the end of the course, you will be able to determine which ArcGIS toolsand functions to use in a given situation and apply them to your analyses. The skills taught in this courseare applicable to all types of GIS analysis.Who Should AttendGIS analysts, GIS specialists, and other experienced ArcGIS users who want to extend their basic ArcGISskills in the areas of data creation and editing, geoprocessing models, and GIS analysis.GoalsAfter completing this course, you will be able to: Add data from different sources to a geodatabase. Create and use geodatabase components that maintain data integrity and prevent errors duringdata creation and editing. Solve common spatial data alignment problems. Use a variety of geoprocessing tools to perform an analysis that supports decision making. Build a complex model to automate an analysis workflow.COURSE OUTLINE Getting data into a geodatabase Geodatabase elements Data conversion methods Importing data through batch and single conversions Creating feature classes from x,y data Accessing tabular data using an OLE DB connection Geodatabase behavior Subtypes, domains, and geodatabase topology Editing GIS data Workflow for creating and editing data Working with editing tools and tasks Exploding a multipart feature Generalizing polygons Editing using domains and subtypes Finding and fixing errors using topology Aligning spatial data Common data alignment problems Spatial adjustment methods Georeferencing workflow Matching layer boundaries
